/// EL HIJO DEL SANTO VS ROBOTSODA ///

Last year I was in line at the bank bored to hell when my phone rang, it was a client who was looking to produce a book. Being a big fan of lucha libre, you can imagine how exited I was when she told me about the possibillity of doing an illustrated children's book featuring lucha libre legend and mexican icon El Hijo Del Santo. Got in touch my good friend Kone to see if he was interested in working on it, few hours later we're on skype putting togheter the rough story, posible characters etc. along the way we also recruited a couple of friends, Pablo Maañon in charge of writing the script and the tallented mr Lerms on aditional illustration and backgrounds. 8 months later on october 2009 the book finally came out. here are some pictures of the process
